Open Communication: Continuing Sex Ed at Home

Some of the first messages we receive around body image, love, and relationships come from parents and members of our families. These messages tend to influence self-perceptions, behaviors, and our interactions with others. As youth, we already have ideas or experiences around sexuality and want to know that there is someone available to answer questions and give advice. As parents and guardians, we want our children to grow into the confident, sexually informed, and empowered individuals they are capable of being. Come learn skills to develop healthy and open communication styles around topics related to sexuality. In this workshop, we will:- Discuss barriers to open communication around sexuality- Learn several new communication skills that encourage openness- Explore the types of questions youth and parents have about sexuality
